PROPOSAL

This City-Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment proposes revisions to various Site Specific Zoning By-laws approved between 1998 and 2012 to amend Section 37 provisions to allow for the potential reallocation of unspent Section 37 funds.

This amendment affects properties at 86-100 Bloor Street West (By-law 133-1999); 1,3 Sultan Street, 11 St Thomas Street, and 76-98 Charles Street West (By-law 1090-2002); 77 Charles Street West (By-law 954-2005); 590 Jarvis Street (By-law 1018-2005); 13-21 Balmuto Street (By-law 226-2007); 4, 6, 8 St. Thomas Street, 100-110 Charles Street West (By-law 60-2008(OMB)); and 192A, 194, and 200 Bloor Street West (By-law 1131-2010).

The unspent Section 37 funds can be spent on their original allocated purpose or for climate smart affordable housing and/or TTC subway station improvements within University-Rosedale (Ward 11).

Additionally amendments to the Site Specific Zoning By-laws listed above would include the same reallocation authority as other Site Specific Zoning By-laws approved after 2013 with Section 37 provisions, namely authorizing the reallocation of unspent Section 37 funds at the discretion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, provided that the purpose is identified in the Toronto Official Plan and will benefit the community in University-Rosedale (Ward 11).

No new development is proposed to the existing buildings at the above listed addresses as a result of these amendments.
